Stellar Care: Astrology, the Four Elements & Spiritual Health in Healthcare

This is funded by an Interfaith America grant. Dr. Charlie Trinh draws from Indigenous wisdom, astrology, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The intention is to uncover how a patient's elemental constitution and spiritual beliefs profoundly shape their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. This session equips clinicians, chaplains, students, and caregivers with element-based insights—so you can offer care that resonates deeply with each person's spiritual and cultural identity.

A CEU-accredited series that explored what may be the 4th wave of behavioral health practice: Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy. We discussed the current crisis in behavioral health practice, where the myth of the “chemical imbalance” causes many to receive partial and temporary interventions that do not often provide lasting change.

Financial Freedom For Nurses

Gus Klaus is a CFP (certified financial planner) out of St. Louis, Mo. Gus and his team almost exclusively work with healthcare professionals. He has found that healthcare professionals face many challenges around financial planning because their expertise lies in a different field. His goal is helping clients bring clarity around the financial actions they’re taking today and make sure it aligns with their desired outcomes.    

Cultivating Self Is on a mission to reframe healthcare by providing CME/CEU courses that build moral muscle and trauma resilience, empower clinicians with embodied knowledge about ecological medicine, food as medicine, and ecocultural science.

 

We share science and practices that improve public health outcomes while generating pathways of revenue for healers and food systems.
